Great Ming National Teacher

Li Yunya took out two bottles of Fengyuan crystal wine from his bag, a set of porcelain cups with lotus leaves in the wind, and a white porcelain wine bottle, which matched perfectly.

Yuan Fucheng shook his head quickly when he saw it: "No, no, we strictly prohibit drinking alcohol during our employment."

"You also said that it was during the working period. Now you are leaving the military academy and going to Tianjin to report. Now it is not the working period. Come, come, drink less, which means, I am your elder, the elder toast, do you dare Drink, I will go to Xu Zhenzhi and Yuan Liqing to discuss the Tao later, and ask them how they teach children and why they are so rude!"

He personally poured wine for everyone, first Yuan Fucheng and Li Ji, then the seven young teachers, and finally Zhu Youjian and himself. Take the lead in toasting: "In order not to cause trouble with drinking, let's only have one drink. First of all, I wish our Ming Dynasty prosperous and prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Secondly, for our great national teacher, I wish him good health, longevity, and find his own happiness soon. Once again, I also wish you all the best. Soldiers can kill the enemy and do meritorious service, and get promoted soon. Teachers can be famous all over the world, and you will be successful in your studies! Come, come, cheers."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank the sweet wine in one gulp.

"Good wine!" Yuan Fucheng praised, tasted the aftertaste, and then looked at the bottle, "Fengyuan five-star crystal grapes, 100 silver dollars a bottle, today is the third time I drink."

Hearing this price, several young teachers, including Li Ji, were very surprised. Two bottles of wine cost 200 silver dollars. With their salary, it would take more than three years to earn it without eating or drinking. I drank my three or four years' salary!

The young teachers got off the bus halfway, and when they arrived in Tianjin, Yuan Fucheng and Li Ji also left to report to the naval station of the East China Sea Fleet.

Coming out of the train station, Li Yunya suggested to Zhu Youjian that the two of them should take a tour of Tianjin City first.

It is said that more than 200 years ago, when Emperor Yongle launched the Battle of Jingnan, he passed by here. The so-called Tianjin is the place where the emperor passed. The left guard and the right guard, collectively known as the Tianjin Sanwei, were originally just small earthen castles. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Li Yunya discussed with Zhu Youjian to combine the three guards into one, rebuilding a large reinforced concrete city, and erecting coastal defense guns on it. And set aside a county each from Shuntian Prefecture and Hejian Prefecture to establish Tianjin Prefecture.

It is very close to Beijing, and Kuaimaxiao can arrive in half a day. It is an important place to defend the capital. After the founding of the country, Huang Taiji devoted all his efforts to the development of firearms and shipbuilding. After Mao Wenlong was beheaded by Yuan Chonghuan, his army was recruited by Huang Taiji. Later, the Eight Banners Army annexed North Korea. They fought against North Korea as early as the reign of Tianqi, even Pyongyang.

In the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji was wounded under the city of Beijing. After returning to China, Fan Wencheng and others suggested that he take down North Korea. First, North Korea had always regarded the Ming Dynasty as its suzerain state. Back then, it sent troops to fight against Jianzhou with the Ming Dynasty. North Korea can avoid fighting on two fronts, and secondly, it can obtain more resources such as population and land.

Finally, in the sixth year of Chongzhen, when Lu Xiangsheng reformed the Liaodong Army and reorganized and digested the Guanning cavalry, Huang Taiji raised troops to attack North Korea, captured Anzhou at lightning speed, and once again captured Pyongyang. All the concubines and children were sent to Jianghua Island for refuge. He led all civil and military officials to retreat to Nanhan Mountain City, and summoned all domestic troops to King Jingqin. However, these troops were completely vulnerable to the powerful Eight Banners Army and were quickly wiped out by the Manchurian Eight Banners. Lost.

Huang Taiji led the army to attack Jianghua Island again, took away Li Zhen's wife and children, and then fired artillery to attack the city. Li Zhen had no choice but to lead the crowd to open the city gate to beg for surrender.

The kings and ministers of North Korea thought that after the surrender, they only need to abolish the reign title of the Ming Dynasty, change to the Qing Dynasty as the suzerain state, pay tribute every year, and become a minister every year. How did they know that Huang Taiji was going to annex the whole of North Korea this time? Huang Taiji counted 27 items The crime, but did not kill him, but took the whole family captive to Shenyang, sealed a Zhongshun king and put him under house arrest, and then ordered a large number of Eight Banners landlords to enter North Korea, began to staking land, ordered all North Koreans to shave their hair and change their clothes, and changed them to Manchus. Attire, a large number of Koreans were moved to Liaodong, and the Eight Banners of the Dynasty were established, which were juxtaposed with the Eight Manchu Banners and the Eight Han Banners...

North Korea, which has always regarded itself as a "little China", was wiped out by barbarians. The king and his son were taken away by others, which made the monarchs, ministers and people grieved. Naturally, resistance was inevitable during this period. More than [-] Korean ministers crossed the sea to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty. They cried until they vomited blood and asked to send troops.

Li Yunya and Zhu Youjian had long ago received Fan Wencheng and others from the Military Intelligence Department suggesting that Huang Taiji attack North Korea. They also sensed the signs of the Qing army's mobilization beforehand and sent someone to deliver a letter to North Korea. Not vulnerable at all.

The strategy they formulated was to pacify the northwest first, then the northeast, and then the two armies would unite to sweep the desert and completely solve the northern problem. At that time, Lu Xiangsheng was reorganizing a new army in Liaodong, which moved the interests of the Liaodong army. If he was not careful, it would cause a mutiny. , and Sun Chuanting was preparing to attack Shaanxi. At this time, it was impossible to send troops to help North Korea restore the country. Zhu Youjian could only order comfort, promising that by the tenth year of Chongzhen at the latest, he would raise troops to recover Liaodong and save the Korean people from suffering.

Zhu Youjian ordered Yuan Chonghuan to bring North Korean refugees to China. In more than a year, more than 30 North Koreans were successively taken to Shandong and Zhili. After they landed, they were issued identity certificates, allowing them to join the army, Do business and enter the factory to work.

Zhu Youjian also allowed them to settle in China after making certain achievements and become official Chinese residents. For example, if they have joined the army for ten years or made military exploits, they have worked for ten years, or they have made inventions and creations, or donated [-] yuan directly. Silver dollars, etc., of course, the premise is to give yourself a Chinese surname and a Chinese name.

In addition to these accidents, there are other ways, that is, to join the Han family, such as women getting married, men adopting, and so on.

The subjects fleeing from North Korea were moved to tears, knelt down to worship the capital, and called Zhu Youjian the holy king.

There are many Koreans in Tianjin today. They work and sell like the locals, and they dress like people from the Ming Dynasty. They believe in Confucianism, and many customs follow the example of China. As long as they don’t open their mouths, they will definitely not be able to tell that they are North Koreans. People, of course, at this time, all parts of the country are mixed. Even if only the natives speak different accents, these North Korean refugees only have some nuances in their work and rest habits. I believe that in a few years, they will disappear from everyone. .

Li Yunya led Zhu Cixuan, Zhu Cixuan led Zhu Youjian, the three of them came out of the train station, got into a carriage, and asked the handlebar: "Old man, is there any lively and interesting place in Tianjin?"

The handlebar style hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed: "You two young masters, the little old man can't afford this title." Then he said, "Our Tianjin Wei has become more and more lively in the past two years, and there are too many interesting places." He was very enthusiastic He introduced to the two of them that there is a lantern market, a temple fair, a foreign market specializing in Nanyang goods, and so on.

There are also these things in Beijing. Li Yunya felt that it was meaningless, so after discussing with Zhu Youjian, he decided not to go to the city, but to the countryside instead.

Zhu Youjian has no objection, he is curious about everything, and everything is interesting to watch, and the same is true for his son Zhu Cixuan.

The carriage arrived at a village called Liu Qianhu. As the name suggests, this place used to be a place of thousands of households. Most of the families in it were named Liu, because it was not far from the city, and there were quite a lot of people and it was very lively.

There is a river at the entrance of the village. There is a group of teenagers catching fish by the river. They don’t use fishing rods or nets. They rely on their hands to catch fish and shrimps. They are all naked. I dived underwater to catch fish. I have already caught two small fish and a handful of freshwater shrimp. I piled up a pond with sand on the shore and kept the spoils in it.

The three of Li Yunya were watching this interestingly. They stopped on the bank when suddenly there was a sound of splashing water. A young boy emerged from the river, clasping a crucian carp with his hands tightly. It was about a foot long from head to tail. Brother caught the fish! Brother Sanhe is the best!"

The young boy who caught the fish swam to the bank and put the fish in the pond, and three boys who were only seven or eight years old stood around and watched.

Li Yunya walked over: "Little brother, I think your fish is good, how much can you sell it to me?"

The young man raised his head and looked Li Yunya and the three of them up and down: "This fishbone has a lot of bones, and it can't be sold at a high price in our local area. If customers want it, they can just take it, no money."

"Then how can it be done? You also worked so hard to catch it from the river. We can't ask for it for nothing. You have to pay a price."

The young man thought for a while: "If you want to give it, just give it a penny of Tongbao. I'll give you these two small grass carp and these shrimps."

One cent of Chongzhen Tongbao can't buy a catty of corn. Calculated according to purchasing power, it is equivalent to about [-] cents for later generations. This deal is really a bargain. Li Yunya likes the simplicity of this young man: "Well, I want to treat you today. There are not enough fish and shrimp, I will give you a silver dollar, how about you help me catch some more fish and shrimp?"

"One silver dollar!" The four teenagers exclaimed in unison. One silver dollar is one yuan of Chongzhen Tongbao, which is worth one tael of silver. You can buy more than 100 catties of wheat here, and you can go to a restaurant in Tianjin to have a delicious meal. Dayton, according to their conversion method, you can buy a lot of candies, and you can buy the most popular new clothes in the city.

The young man whistled loudly, and hurried over the friends who were still in the water: "These two uncles are going to hold a banquet and treat guests. They need fish and shrimp. They will spend one silver dollar to hire us to catch them. Let's work harder and try to get the money." Earn it!"

For these rural teenagers, they only get a few cents of New Year's money during the Chinese New Year. There is no such thing as pocket money at ordinary times. One silver dollar is tantamount to an astronomical figure. A young man also tried his best to put his hands together by the river, concentrating on catching shrimps.

Not long after, a young man emerged from the water, holding his hand high: "I caught a white cat!"

The boy named Sanhe heard it and said: "It's not good to be white, and the thorns are not delicious, so you can't put it on the table to treat guests."

The boy who caught the fish threw the fish back into the river, got into the water again, and soon came out of the water: "I caught another carp!" No one would stop him, he swam ashore happily, put his chopsticks Throw the long carp into the pond.
